Romulus Folio Gallery invites you to the launch of Romulus Salon, an interdisciplinary gathering for artists and creative practitioners across disciplines.

In the current group exhibition Transitions at Romulus Folio Gallery, artist Keith Ross presents a series of pencil on card works that explore emotional truth through expressive figuration.

Chilean-born, Melbourne-based multidisciplinary artist Andrea Vargas presents works from her Water series in Transitions at Romulus Folio Gallery. Her practice, which spans sculpture, photography, and ceramics, is grounded in material sensitivity, memory, and elemental rhythm.

Gerard Russo’s Intervalle

Presented by Romulus Folio Gallery

Intervalle is a body of original charcoal drawings by Gerard Russo that approaches movement as a temporal condition that resists aresolved image. Across the series, gesture unfolds through duration, suspension, and repetition. Each work holds a moment at the threshold of emergence, where motion is evoked and movement sensed as happening.

Artist Fiona Johnston features four materially rich works in Transitions at Romulus Folio Gallery, where surface, pigment, and texture carry the weight of time and process.

As the year draws to a close, we are filled with gratitude for every visitor, maker, collaborator, and supporter who walked through our doors, pulled up a seat in a workshop, joined a conversation, or encountered art through fresh eyes with us in 2025.

Post-Opening Reflection, Romulus Folio Gallery. Transitions opened at Romulus Folio Gallery as an exhibition concerned not with duration, process, and states of becoming.

Romulus Folio is delighted to announce that Lucia Medina, an Argentine‑Australian artist based in Melbourne, will feature in the forthcoming Prototypes group exhibition, February 6 -1 March 2026. Her sculptural practice explores the boundaries between memory, gesture, and materiality, reflecting deeply on process, form, and the sensory presence of art.

Romulus Folio is thrilled to announce that Kasia Dudkiewicz will feature in our forthcoming Prototypes group exhibition, launching 6 February 2026. Kasia, a fibre artist based in the Macedon Ranges, brings a deeply personal yet universally resonant approach to sculptural textile work, exploring texture, tension, and the emotional resonance of material.

Romulus Folio presents Transitions, an exhibition exploring change as a continuous state of being, a "lived experience".

Romulus Folio began as an instinct rather than a gallery. A need to make art, to be inside art, to live within spaces shaped by colour, texture, and the emotional intelligence of material. I never set out to build a public program. I set out to make work. But over time I realised the space itself was becoming a work of art.

Romulus Folio is proud to present Flights of Love, a collaborative exploration between our ongoing resident artist Angelina Mirabito and a leading Australian luxury interior designer, bespoke furniture maker and artist, Mark Alexander. This project embodies the gallery’s commitment to fostering bold, transformative, and dialogue-driven art at the intersection of disciplines.

Romulus Folio Gallery is pleased to present Transitions: Metamorphosis of the Moment, a cross-media exhibition exploring the spaces between movement, stillness, and transformation. Opening on 5 December 2025 and running through 25 January 2026, this exhibition brings together the work of Gerard Russo, Fiona Johnston, and Andrea Vargas under the curatorial guidance of Angelina Mirabito.

Artist Andrea Vargas, a multidisciplinary Melbourne-based practitioner, recently led a ceramic jewellery workshop at Romulus Folio Gallery. The session demonstrated Andrea’s thoughtful guidance, the inclusive environment of the workshop, and how participants were able to engage with both technical skill and creative exploration.

For the current edition of OBSERVER, we feature Anita Mirabito’s Through the Weave(2025), a compelling site-specific installation that recontextualises the potential of fibre art within an architectural framework.

OBSERVER opened with a profound sense of shared attention, a gathering shaped as much by conversations, gestures, and mutual recognition as by the artworks themselves. The exhibition brings together seven artists whose practices explore perception as an active exchange: the movement between seeing and being seen, witnessing and being witnessed, translating and being translated.

Romulus Folio is proud to announce significant progress on a compelling new documentary project, currently titled Living Canvas. This film offers an intimate exploration of the interdisciplinary contemporary art practice of our artist-in-residence, Angelina Mirabito, tracing the emotional, intellectual, and tactile realities that shape her work.

In OBSERVER, artist Florence Wang presents three tender oil landscapes: Home Is Where the Light Is (2025), Corner of Brunswick West (2025), and Bottle-O (2025). Each work offers a gentle reimagining of suburban Melbourne through patient observation and emotional nuance.

Romulus Folio Gallery is excited to present a hands-on, imaginative workshop for children, combining creativity, reflection, and community engagement.

Curatorial Statement

Observer examines the relational act of seeing, exploring how attention and perception shape our experience of the world. Guided by the Anima, the inward, reflective aspect of consciousness attuned to subtlety, feeling, and intuitive awareness, the exhibition foregrounds the interplay between observer and observed, revealing the quiet, nuanced rhythms of perception.
